That's the case I can eat larger portions and not feel full but I do try to watch my portions sizes due to fear of the pouch stretching...don't have any signs of this happening though...

Yes that is definitely my case, I am just not sure if i can tell the difference between restriction and feeling full, because I definitely am not feeling full, and I don't wanna eat to much for fear of stretching out my pouch! I guess what I don't understand is when I went back for my pre op appointment my dr told me I could eat solid foods, I have saw on here a lot of people continued on a liquid or Mushie diet, I did not...I was able to eat chicken, steak, salad just about any food...and I have remained the same weight not losing or gaining weight...very aggravating!!! Started Zumba classes and the couch to 5k program...down in the dumps!!!

I had my surgery 11/27/12...3 weeks ago had my first fill and scheduled for another fill next Thursday 1/24/13 I don't feel any restriction at all food wise! Is this normal? I have lost 20lbs total from the pre op liquid diet until now! Very frustrated!!! I feel as though I can eat more than I did prior to my first fill! The only restriction I have had through this process is right after surgery I felt restriction after just eating jello...is this normal?? Someone please help!!!
